Talk: Human–Animal Relationships – Rethinking Sheep and Ethical Fashion

A critical and philosophical exploration of our relationship with animals in the context of fashion, using sheep and wool as the focal point. This session examines ethical, philosophical, and even spiritual perspectives on how humans treat animals (like sheep) as resources. It challenges the audience to reflect on concepts of commodification of living beings, welfare standards, and whether truly “humane” animal products are possible. The goal is a critical reflection on modern society’s stance toward animals in production systems, leading to questions about respect, coexistence, and responsibility.
